One Example of How Technology Has Transformed This Student's Life

This student's testimony to Congress shows in real human terms how access to technology and his teachers willingness to integrate it throughout the learning process has transformed his life for the better. Having worked with students from urban communities where student and teacher access to digital media for teaching and learning is sparse, I can attest to this young man's portrayal of the power of the tools he utilized in his education. However, I have also seen the gross misuse of technology as an educational tool. What are your thoughts on the promise and peril of digital media as a teaching and learning tool?
